besides the coal question, the failures during the present year
have been unexpectedly numerous, and they have been for heavy

a more restricted trade, and that that effect is being produced is
only too evident. For a time at least, a want of activity may be

movement is checked. Present prioes bring in
adequate supplies, and so long as that is the case millers will
naturally resist paying more. There appears, however, to be no
chance of prices declining. Nowhere in the world, California
excepted, does there appear to be any actual abundance, and it
may be concluded that only prices such as are now current will
bring forward the supplies we require, more especially as the
foreign markets are nearly as dear as our own. Besides, the fact
is certain that before the season is over potatoes will be at a price
beyond the reach of many, and as they are already dearer than
bread, it may be safely assumed that their consumption will be
superseded by the cheaper commodity. An augmented consumption of bread is therefore more than probable, and this is obviously calculated to give firmness to the trade for wheat.

having been £20,330,606, against £18,529,816 in 1872, and
£15,328,776 in 1871. The total for the first two months of the
year was £40,632,153^gainst £37,409,796 in 1872, and £27,216,815
in 1871. The computed real value of our imports in the month
was £27,619,517, against £28,711,969 and £24,364,413 and in the
two months, £55,017,190, against £59,292,760 and £49,329,394 in

Tlrglnla Debt. The Richmond Enquirer says
Both Houses
of the General AssPmbly have passed a bill, which is about to be
sent to the Governor, duthorizing collecting officers, when they
receive coupons in payment of taxes, to deduct and retain therefrom a tax equal in amount to fifty cents on the hundred dollars,
market valne of the bonds from which the coupons are derived
" as of the first day of April of each year, and such bonds will be
exempt In the hands of the holders thereof from the property tax
imposed by the State and from assessment therefor." The
collecting officer, after deducting the amount of this tax from the
amount of all coupons presented to him in payment of taxes, is
to indorse on the back of each coupon, out of which the tax has
been deducted or retained, the words " tax retained," and is to
account to the proper officer for the same. And all sums so
retained are to be paid into the treasury lor the use of the Com:
monwealth.
This act
intended to put the holders of bonds, which have
" receivable for taxes" on the same footing with
holders of all other State bonds. The Auditor of Public Accounts,
as was stated in the Senate by Judge Thomas, has information
that coupons are being received by collecting officers in many of
the counties in obedience to the judgment of the Supreme Court
of Appeals, as emphatically pronounced in the case of Antoui vs.
cou]>ons
is
made
Wright, Sheriff.
The Second Auditor authorizes us to say that he will be ready
commence paying the January (1878) interest on the public
debt on the tst of April, at the rate prescribed in-the recent act
of the General Assembly.
to
The New York Herald's Richmond correspondent, referring to
bondholders out of the State, says of the recent law "It is effiicti ve
only as against them, as the Virginia holder of State bonds is exempt from listing them in the assessment of his property, and so
only pays one tax. But the Northern bondholder must pay the
tax upon his Virginia bonds as personal property in the State
where he resides, and then submit to have them taxed here also.
This tax is to hi deducted at the Treasury when the interest is
paid, or retained in the hands of the collecting officers where
coupons are taken for taxes, but the holders of bonds with
coupons receivable for taxes still have the upper hand, for they
will get all, or nearly all, the interest due them by passing their
coupons into the hands of collecting officers, while all others will
only get four per cent this year and what the State pleases to pay
:
hereafter."

Important Decisions by
tlie
U. S. Supreme Court.— Untax-
able Railkoad Corporations.— Humphrey et al. against
Tiques, from the Circuit Court for South Carolina, 'The Court
hold that the Cheraw & Darlington Railroad Company In South
Carolina is, by the laws of the State, exempt from taxation, and
that tho law of 1808, enacted to repeal this exemption, is void.
The Court say that it is too late to raise the question whether a
State has the power to bind itself against imposing taxes, for it
has been held in this Court that a State iias tho power to bind
itself in relinquishing the taxing power, and such a provision of
exemption is a contract which the State may not subsequently
impair. Judgment affirmed.
'i'omlinson and others against Branch and others, on appeal
from the Circuit Court for South Carolina. Bills were filed by
the appellees as stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad Company to restrain *he State officers from collecting, and the
company from paying, taxes imposed on the company by
the act of 1868, on the ground that the company was by
its charter exempt from taxation, but declined to adopt any
measures to resist the tax. The Court below sustained the tax
and dismissed the bill. This Court decides that tho company in
entitled to exemption, and that the Legislature cannot abrogate
it or disregard the right.
Decree reversed, with direttious to enter
a decree for appellants. Mr. Justice Hunt delivered the opinion.
The case of the City Council of Charleston and others against
Branch and others, from the same court, is disposed of by the
opinion in this case.

The Legal Tender Confusion.—Xorwich &
—
Worcester Rail-
road Company against Johnson. From tho Supreme Court of
Massachusetts. The railroad company was sued on certain coupons for interest attached to bonds issued In 1860. When the
coupons fell due, legal tenders were offered In payment and
refused, and coin was demanded. The court below directed
judgment to be entered for coin, in accordance with the dvcision
of this court in Henburn vs. Griswold, which was then the law of
the land. That judgment is now reversed by this court, in accordance with the subsequent case of Parker vs. Davis. Mr.
Justice Miller delivered the opinion. TheChiet Justice stated that
he felt it his duty to dissent, for reasons stated In the opinion of
the court in Hepburn vs. Griswold, and in the dissenting opinion
in Parker vs. Davis. Justices Cliffiard and Field conciured in the
—
dissent.

Enforcement op Townbhip Bonds. St. Joseph Township
Champaign County, Illinois, agt. Rogers. From the Circuit Court
—
for the Southern District of Illinois.
This court affirms the right
of the defendant in error to recover on certain bonds issued by
the township in aid of the construction of the Danville, Urbana,
Bloomington & Pekin Railroad.
State Taxation op Railroad Bonds. Cleveland, PainesviUe & Ashtabula Railroad Company against the State of Pennsylvania, from the Supreme Court of that State. The question
was upon the right of the State, under Its act of 1868, to collect
through the company a tax ot five per cent upon the Interest duo
to its bondholdersThe State Court sustained the right and
enforced the collection. This Court say that the State may
properly tax persons and property within its jurisdiction, but the
power of taxation is limited to subjects within the jurisdiction.
The bonds in this case are property in tho haiids of the holders,
and not the property of the obligors, and so far as they are held
by non residents of the State they are property beyond the jurisdiction of the State. The law requiring the treasurer of the company to retain five per cent of the interest due to non-iesident
Ijondholders is not therefore a legitimate exercise of the taxing
power. It is a law which impairs the obligation of the contract
entered into between the company and its bondholders, and is
void for that reason. Judgment reversed.
Judge Davis dissents, holding that as the State Courts have
decided that the tax In question was authorized by the act of
1844, which was In force when the bonds were issued, no j rinciple
of the Federal Constitution is violated.
Mr. Justice Field delivered the opinion of the court.
The cases of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Road, and
of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western Road are disposed of by
the views expressed in the opinion in the foregoing case.

THE CHRONICLE.
388
Report of the Erie Railway Company.— The Railroad Oazette
gives the following abstract of the annual report of this company
year
to the State Engineer and Surveyor of New York for the
ending September 80, 1873, and from this and the report of the
preceding year the following comparative statement of the company's property is made.
The tollowing is the road worked by the company:
[March 22, '8J8.
This shows an increase of 135 per cent in the freight traffic, 74
per cent in the freight earnings, and a decrease of 27 per cent in
the average rate for carrying freight, since 1862-63. Tlie rates
have been very irregular, but the decrease since the war has been
from 3.42 to 1.53 cents 37 per cent
Of the tons carried, 53.7 per cent was coal 19.7 animals, vegetable food and other agricultural products 18.8 manufactures
and merchandise 5 per cent " products of the forest," and 2.8 per
cent other articles. The coal was thus more than one-half the
total tonnage carried, though probably not one-half of the traffic,
as the average haul for coal is probably less than for other
freights.
No figures for this are given, however.
Two passengers, 28 employees and 40 others were killed on the
road during the year, and 6 passengers, 55 employees and 20
others injured a total of 70 killed and 81 injured.

COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
Friday Night, March
[March 22, 1873.
21, 1873.
There have been some new features in the trade of the city
the past week. ForeiffO inercbandize, for example, has ehowu
not only depression but a considttrable decline in leading staples;
while domestic products have generally ruled firm, and some of
them have slightly advanced, or at least recovered a portion of
the late decline. Spring has fairly opened, but throughout the
North and West inland navigatioa remains closed, except for a
few miles here and there. Thus, on Wednesday, the navigation
of the Hudson River was open to Sing Sing, but on t le same day
horses and vehicles were crossing the Connecticut on the ice at
Hartford. The destruction by fire to-day ot the depot of the Erie
Bailway threatens to be a serious temporary embarrassment.
Provisions have been fairly active but generally unsettled,
more in tone than in prices, however speculative influences have
been at work, causing some irregularity, as in bacon the Cincin
natl Price Current has made up its annual statement of the number of hogs slaughtered in the past season at Western markets
with the following resuU as compared with last year: Nov. 1.
1873, to March 1, 1S73, 5,884,038 swine Nov. 1, 1871, to March
an increase of 403,470 hogs.
But
1, 1873, 4,871,558 swine
weights have generally been heavier. These 41)2,470 hogs may
be estimated to yield 81,000,000 lbs. of merchantable product.
The exports from the United States for the same four months
were about 270,000,000 lbs., against 202,000,000 lor the corresponding period last season. Thus the increasB in the exports fails
only about 18,000,000 lbs. below the increase in production and
stocks were much smaller on the 1 St of Nov., 1873, than at the
same date in 1871. The exports from this port have been as follows, from Nov. 1 to March 18, inclusive for three years

excited and variable market for cotton during
the past week. On Monday there was something of a panic, and
quotations for cotton on the spot were reduced }c., bringing
prices back to where they were early in the winter. Thus, middling uplands Nov. 15, were lOJc, and noiv March 17 they
having in the meantime been as high as 21fc.
Monday has been more steady, with considerable business doing for export. Yesterday, however, low grades
developed some weakness, but were not quotably lower, whi'e
the better grad<3S were stronger. To-day good ordinary was
reduced Jo. and sales were reported at prices below quotations, but low middling upland was advanced Jc. The close
was quiet under dull accounts from Liverpool. For future
delivery there has been very great activity and wide and frf quent
fluctuations in prices. The greatest depression was on Monday
and the following were the lowest prices after 'Change on that
day For March and April 17ic., for May 18c., for June ISJc., and
These are the lowest prices of the current season.
for July 18|.
Most of this decline was recovered on Tuesday, but during
Wednesday and Thursday prices again had a downward tendency, closing yesterday at an average of ^c. advance over the
close of Monday's regular report. To-day the market was fairly active and rather firmer until after 'Change, when it was dull,

demand has been
and jobbera have placed moderate
amount!. The sales of invoices remain small, though there has. perhaps,
been a slight improTcment over the business of last week. Holders who are
financially strong have withdrawn from the market in
some insUnces, and the
only sellers at present are the small importers who are unable to stand the
pressure, and are forced to realize. The importation of teas
by jobbing
houses has been engaged in somewhat extensively during the last few years,
and has resulted in the serious disarrangement of the trade. These dealers
are unable to hold up under severe financial pressore. and while the large
houses which handle the bulk of the teas might be able to sustain ihe market
even in the face of a protracted dulness, the small receivers invariably press
their stocks and cause a break in prices. A few more soch lessens as they
have received this season will be likely to cause them to resign the bosiness
to those
who
fair,
control the large capital that Is necessary in this branch of
trade.
Our market continues nominal In the absence of business, and prices are
barely quotable, or, at least, fail to represent the prices at which teas can be
and have been bought. The sales of invoices reported since our last include
2,769 half chests Greens
1,074 do. Japans, and 1,600 do. Oolongs.
The
arrivals during the week have been heavy, no less tlian seven vessels
having coma in. Of these the "Mary Whitridge," "Dllkoosh," and "Centurion," all from Shanghai, brought principally Greens, thoujh some Blacks
and Japans were included In their cargoes. The " BUck Prince," from

has not been very active during the
week, and most of the markets are somewhat depressed. There
is a steady jobbing trade, and the transactions recorded are of fair
magnitude. The weather has been so mild as to make roads
more passable in the interior, and an improved demand naturally
results. Values are unsettled on coffee and sugar, and our quotations are lower. Tea continues dull and nominal. Spices are
quiet but steady. Fruits are in moderate request at unchanged

The
and nominal condition of the market reported in our last has continued throughout the past week, and the market has settled down considerably from the reduced prices given last week.
The decline has been
principally on the Brazil grades, for which there has been a moderate Inquiry,
though to effect sales holders have found it necessary to concede. There has
been but one large arrival during the week, and that consisted of 14,500 bags
by the regnla steamer, the " Merrimack." Her samples were not opened
until to-day, and although the more liberal offerings did not result in a largely
increased business, there was more inquiry. The sales of India coffees has
been fair, and prices on most lines are very well maintained, though the market for these grades has been somewhat depressed in sympathy with the
Brazil qualities. Stocks are not very heavy, and the sales to consumption and
for export to Canads and Europe. The sales here and at the outports have not
been very heavy, and the most notable transaction lias been 3,431 bags ex
" William Manning," at New Orleans, sold for account of a bankrupt, at Kfic,
net cash. The sales here are 2,860 bags Rio, ex " Ontario ;" 4,615 mats Java,
ex "Queen of the Seas," sold before arrival on private terms; 2,724 bags

The arrivals of sugar are not very heavy, and are but little in excess of the
running wants of refiners, who continue to purchase moderately. The stock has
mn down to a mnch smaller amount than is usual at this period of the year, but
with a depressed tone in the market for their products, refiners are unwilling
purchasers, and holders of raws with a desire to realize have made slight concessions to effect sales. The market has receded a quarter from our last
quotations, and is somewhat irregular at this decline, the position being very
much in favor of the buyers. The demand continues to run more particularly
upon centrifngals than upon Moscovado sugars, but all grades have undergone
a revision, and are reduced from our last quotations. The demand for refined
is rather light, and prices have been revised since our last.
Crushed is scarce
and continues steady, and powdered is also a shade above granulated, which
is the weakest on the list.

moderate reduction of stocks, though their sales are not on a very
liberal scale as yet.
There has been a light call for the heavier
weights for clothing manufacturers, but the sales in this direc*
tion are not likely to show much animation for some time to
come. The sales of worsted dress fabrics have been liberal, and
the market is very strong in plain fabrics. The movement in
fancy styles is restricted by the low prices at which similar good!

medium and fine bleached goods have been on a fairly liberal scale,
and nearly all of the loading makes are largely sold ahead. Prices
have stiffened up somewhat rm some of the more popular brands,
and in a few instances higher rates have been established. Print*

and increased activity in this class of work. Medium colorings
are selling fairly, and the active run on polka spots continaes,
